Whole milk – 3 cups
All-purpose flour – 1/3 cup
Garlic powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt and black pepper – to taste
Biscuits – 8
How to Make Sausage Gravy:
Step 1 – Brown the Sausage:
Place the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook until fully browned and crumbled.
Step 2 – Make the Roux:
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly for about 30 seconds to toast the flour, giving the gravy a smooth, nutty base.
Step 3 – Season:
Add garlic powder, salt, and plenty of black pepper. Don’t be shy with the pepper—Southern sausage gravy is meant to be bold!
Step 4 – Add Milk:
Slowly whisk in the milk and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture simmers and thickens. It should coat the back of a spoon perfectly.
Step 5 – Serve:
Split warm biscuits in half and generously pour the hot gravy over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
